Talk:Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster

Unidentified Guns

Unlike with 20 Million Miles to Earth and its heavy usage of WWII-era American weapons, where I was, somewhat rightfully, told I had little excuse for not being able to identify them on my own, here I must really defer to the experts as I know nothing about Japanese weapons of the 1960's (although I suppose I could look at You Only Live Twice). Again I'm just providing screenshots for identification purposes. - Kooshmeister

Shindo's Gun

Looks like a FN model 1910 or is newer version the Browning Model 1955

The FN 1910 has an external extractor, where the movie gun has an internal one (or I can't see it). The pic we have of the Model 1955 is the opposite side. But I don't think they would switch to an internal extractor for a newer model. --Predator20 21:52, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

FN Model 1910 .380 ACP

FN Model 1955, .38 ACP

How about this gun: --Warejaws 14:00, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Definitely not. The MAB's grips are wrong. THe grip screw placement is that of a 1910 or 1955.--PistolJunkie 20:05, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

French MAB Model D Pistol - .32 ACP

Detective Shindo (Yosuke Natsuki) uses this small automatic throughout the entire film as his sidearm.

Shindo's gun, unloaded, on his desk.

Shindo slaps a magazine into the gun.

Shindo exchanges fire with the assassins.

A guess three years later: a Hamada 7.65mm Type. Greg-Z (talk) 15:24, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

Malmess' Gun

Malmess (Hisaya Ito) uses this nickel automatic with a slim black silencer in the shootout at the clinic. It is only seen in long shots.

Malmess' gun is seen partially as he and another assassin hide behind some equipment.

Malmess (center, in the dark blue suit) prepares to open the door, gun in hand.

Other Guns

Each of the other three assassins abetting Malmess has their own handgun. The one in the white suit has what looks like a Luger. The black-suited killer's weapon is never clearly shown, but the short, light-blue-suited man's gun is seen in a few good shots.

The guy on the far left has a Mauser HSc with a fake suppressor MPM2008

The short assassin with gun in hand (only the barrel seen) watches as Malmess adjusts the electrical controls.

The short assassin readies his gun as Malmess is about to open the door.

Luger

Something seems off about that Luger; there's some sort of protrusion at the rear of the frame. Does anyone else think it might be a Nambu Type 14?--PistolJunkie 20:07, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Japanese Weapons in film

During the final shootout in the gorge, the wounded Malmess uses a rifle with a large scope and a wooden stock to shoot at Shindo and the Princess.

Can't say what this rifle. That weird mini suppressor on the end is the japanese cinema's version of ISS's non gun (aka a flashpaper gun). Ever notice how Japanese gun flashes look "magenta" in color? with a government that is ridiculously strict on firearms ownership (even movie productions can't get them), the Japanese have had weird NON guns for DECADES. That mini suppressor is the actuator just like the ones at the tips of the ISS non gun RIFLES like their CAR-15s and AK-47s. MoviePropMaster2008 18:46, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
